Synthesis of superhard 3D-polymeric C60 fullerites from rhombohedral 2D-polymer by high-pressure-high-temperature treatment.

• Rhombohedral C60 polymer was subjected to high-pressure-high-temperature treatment at P =13 GPa, T =620-1620 K. After quenching, crystalline and disordered structures with densities in the range of 2.1-2.9 g cm-1 were obtained. The structures of the samples have been investigated by powder X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering. DSC analysis showed a transformation of the polymeric structure into monomeric on annealing in the range 400-640 K. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistance of samples with disordered structure was measured in the range 2.5-300K. For different samples, the conductivity was proportional to T1/2, T3/2, T4 and exp(-1/T1/4).
